HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

To me that looks like a 45RPM record spindle .....you know that 45's that they used to sell way back in the day

Sorry to disappoint both you and the Rev, but that little item I posted is a device meant to protect oneself from contracting teh AIDS when indulging in frottage with another person and both of you happen to be topless.

It prevents your nipples from rubbing against the other person's nipples, as that is a route of transmission for teh AIDS.

It's a "My First Buttplug" kit.

ROFLMAO!!!!! I can see how especially the closeted Republicans would like this.

The Womb Battery of 1890 was claimed to cure all manner of feminine ills by electrification of the uterus. Made of dissimilar metals, it decomposed inside the woman, producing a small electric current. Any curative powers were likely due to the poisonous effects of copper and silver metal salts on any bacteria and yeast that might be present.

Oh yeah! I saw this thing on this program called Oddities on the Science Channel. It's a reality show about a couple in NYC who own and run a rather unique antiques shop. On a different episode they showed something similar, but it was a prostate stimulator.

Ok, here's an image. Guess what it is.

Clue: it is not some mediæval instrument of torture.

Guaranteed to bring tears to the eyes of at least half our readers, this device was intended as a treatment for "nocturnal incontinence" and to prevent masturbation. It was designed to deter nighttime emissions by causing enough pain to waken the sleeper if an erection threatened.

Until relatively recently, masturbation was considered a moral weakness and at least partly responsible for a whole range of debilitating medical conditions. Now there is some suggestion that the opposite may be true: frequent self-pleasuring could protect against prostate cancer.

It is slightly similar to this one:

"...Usually a Rose symbolizes beauty, love and passion. The thorns are a reminder that love can also be painful. For example, there may be sharp disagreements, separation, disloyalty, and other hurtful events.

Another, related meaning is warmth of personality, compassion..."

In other words, the Rose symbolizes what we do in Life.

Hence That is how RoseThorne Cottage got it's name ......................

It is at the bottom of that link. I've would have guessed washing machine or camera. I assume that it is peddled powered. I was thinking if I could make an air conditioner out of ice and a fan or at least that what they use to do in the 40's and 50's. The heat in NYC is over the top. I wonder how do people stay cool without one? hummmm....
